The Ghost Ship
Following The Burning Chambers and The City of Tears, bestseller Kate Mosse returns with another sweeping historical epic about love in a time of war.
The Ghost Ship floats silently on the water, all guns silenced, all voices quiet. In the hold, the bodies of men who are dead or dying, and those who have hidden. Only two pirates remain on deck, still defending their vessel against the superior firepower of the Dutch fleet. Slavers or freedom fighters, this stretch of water off the Barbary Coast is home to more privateers than any other and this sloop has seen more than its fair share of action. Now, its hull is splintered, the sails tattered and burnt, its gold coins and bullion seized as the spoils of war.
Among those on board are the Huguenot leader of the Siege of St Rochelle, forced to flee when Richelieu's forces took the city in 1628, and the legendary and feared commander of the ship, kidnapped as a child from the island of Tenerife. Both know their fate. If they are arrested, they will be tried, condemned and hung for their crimes. But things are not what they seem.
For the bravest of the men on board are, in fact, women living in disguise to protect their identities: Louise Joubert, to escape a family feud several generations old; and Anna Van Raay, fleeing a miscarriage of justice that would see her taken to the gallows. Both women know that whatever happens, they cannot allow their identities to be discovered.
The Ghost Ship, the third book in The Burning Chambers series, continues the story of the Joubert family and their descendants. A thrilling adventure story of piracy and revenge, lost treasure and family secrets, it ranges from France and Amsterdam to the Canary Islands, and across the high seas.

No Rest for the Wicked
A lady’s guide to surviving aboard a pirate ship:
- Dress as a cabin boy.
- Avoid drinking too much rum when the handsome captain is around.
- Do not let the captain kiss you…again.
The last thing Roberta Harcourt needs is to be trapped on a ship with pirates. After she is separated from her father when their ship is attacked, Roberta finds herself the unwilling guest of sinfully handsome Captain Dominic Grey. He gives her two choices: to share his bed and maintain her life as a lady, or she can sleep on the floor of his cabin and live the life of a cabin boy until he decides to set her free. Refusing to be seduced by a pirate, she dresses in breeches and assumes duties on board his ship among the men, but each night, sharing a cabin with the brooding, seductively intense captain, she begins to wonder if letting him kiss her again might be a rule worth breaking…
Dominic lost his innocence long ago when he was kidnapped and sold into indentured servitude in the West Indies. Determined to leave the painful memories of his past behind, he looks only to the future and the next prize he and his crew can capture on the high seas…until he discovers and captures the feisty daughter of a naval admiral. Protecting her from other pirates and preventing her marriage to an English officer is all in a day’s work for a pirate. But Dominic is determined to play the gentleman he once was born to be. He tries to resist the siren’s call of her sweet lips, especially when she’s arguing with him. But damned if the woman wasn’t meant to be a pirate because she’s stealing his heart…

Paris - The Memoir
PARIS: A MILLION MEANINGS IN A SINGLE NAME Heiress. Party girl. Problem child.
Selfie taker. Model. Reality star.
Self-created. The labels attached to Paris Hilton. Founder.
Entrepreneur. Pop Culture Maker. Innovator.
Survivor. Activist. Daughter.
Sister. Wife. Mother.
The roles Paris embraces as a fully realized woman. Paris rose to prominence as an heiress to the Hilton hotel empire but cultivated her fame and fortune as the IT Girl of the aughts, a time marked by the burgeoning 24-hour entertainment news cycle and the advent of the celebrity blog. Using her celebrity brand, Paris set in motion her innovative business ventures, while being the constant target of tabloid culture that dismissively wrote her off as "famous for being famous." With tenacity, sharp business acumen and grit, she built a global empire and, in the process, became a truly modern icon beloved around the world.
Now, with courage, honesty, and humour, Paris Hilton is ready to take stock, place it all in context and share her story with the world. Separating the creation from the creator, the brand from the ambassador, Paris: The Memoir strips away all we thought we knew about a celebrity icon, taking us back to a privileged childhood lived through the lens of undiagnosed ADHD, a teenage rebellion that triggered a panicked - and perilous - decision by her parents. Led to believe they were saving their child's life, Paris's mother and father had her kidnapped and saw her sent to a series of 'emotional growth boarding schools', where she survived almost two years of verbal, physical and sexual abuse.
In the midst of a hell we now call the 'troubled teen industry', Paris created a beautiful inner world where the ugliness couldn't touch her. She came out, resolving to trust no-one but herself as she transformed that fantasy world into a multibillion-dollar reality. Recounting her perilous journey through pre-#MeToo sexual politics with grace, dignity and just the right amount of sass.
Paris: The Memoir tracks the evolution of celebrity culture through the story of the figure at its leading edge, full of defining moments and marquee names. Most important, Paris shows us her path to peace while she challenges us to question our role in her story and in our own. Welcome to Paris.

Divine Might
In Divine Might Natalie Haynes, author of the bestselling Pandora’s Jar, returns to the world of Greek myth and this time she examines the role of the goddesses.
We meet Athene, who sprang fully formed from her father’s head: goddess of war and wisdom, guardian of Athens. We run with Artemis, goddess of hunting and protector of young girls (apart from those she decides she wants as a sacrifice). Here is Aphrodite, goddess of sex and desire – there is no deity more determined and able to make you miserable if you annoy her. And then there’s the queen of all the Olympian gods: Hera, Zeus’s long-suffering wife, whose jealousy of his dalliances with mortals, nymphs and goddesses lead her to wreak elaborate, vicious revenge on those who have wronged her.
We also meet Demeter, goddess of agriculture and mother of the kidnapped Persephone, we sing the immortal song of the Muses and we warm ourselves with Hestia, goddess of the hearth and sacrificial fire. The Furies carry flames of another kind – black fires of vengeance for those who incur their wrath.
These goddesses are as mighty, revered and destructive as their male counterparts. Isn’t it time we looked beyond the columns of a ruined temple to the awesome power within?
